Install Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS – Easy Step By Step Guide

It’s about time for an updated version of the Install Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS Tutorial. I plan a couple of Tutorial Updates dedicated to the newest Ubuntu Server release, so why not cover the installation itself as well. The new installer is actually ridiculously easy. For those unsure or completely new to Linux, you can follow through the steps with me!

For this Tutorial, I will install Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS on VirtualBox. The steps are the same if you want to install it on a Physical Computer. If you need to create a Bootable USB Drive, I got you covered.

With step 2.4 and trying to understand what the best practice is. If I have a static ip assigned to my router by my isp and my ubuntu would be installed on a system behind this what ip should i use. Do i use 127.0.0.1 at this step or lets say a 192.168.2.* and then add this to a dmz and allow traffic to flow to it. I would be running more than one test website on this server eventually
